Gordon J. Wood Print Purchase Prize

Call to regional artists to submit recent prints by 19 March 2017

Through the generosity of the Gordon J. Wood Endowment, Carleton University Art Gallery will annually purchase for its collection contemporary prints produced by regional artists that depict the Ottawa Valley and Outaouais areas. A professional jury will review the entries and recommend up to three (3) prints to be purchased using the endowment's annual provision of $1,000. See below for eligibility.

The recipients of the prize in 2016 are Mary Baranowski-Lowden, for her monotype "River Reflection II" (2016), and Rolande Nadeau, for her intaglio print "Sous-bois" (2014).

Entry deadline:

19 March 2017, 5:00 p.m.
